I'm back! Well, sort of. I had depression, and for a long time it was
pretty bad. I'm finally back in fandom, but there's been a few changes. For
one, I've left The Sentinel fandom. It wasn't fun anymore--in fact, it was
making me miserable, with the factionalizing and the fighting and the wars.
I drifted away when I left school, and when I finally came back to fandom,
it was a fandom I never dreamed I'd ever like.

I'm now blissfully content slashing N'Sync, ten times happier than I was
in The Sentinel, and finally writing again. I wrote maybe 5 stories in all
of 2000, and I've written over 20 in just the past few months. Fandom is
fun again, and N'Sync fandom is like coming home. Plus, five awfully cute
boys who touch and cuddle and giggle and hump the stage are always a good
thing.

This site is now going more or less into a holding pattern, at least until
I or more of my writers become active again in these fandoms. Legion will
still be updating her page, and I've created a
N'Sync fandom page
to introduce people to the fandom, but no other updates are planned
by me. My N'Sync fic, what I've posted thus far, is hosted at Emmy's
Pretty Little Whore Machine and my new nickname is Shine. Owlet is enjoying a well-deserved retirement.
As always, my email is whitford@wam.umd.edu
and I welcome your feedback.

Peace :)

The web can be a cold place--here's some
to warm you up! Happy Jim and Blair thoughts!

The Sentinel is on the Sci-Fi
Channel! Look for it, coming this fall at 6:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. And
show them how much we still care!
